A Thorny Reunion

There she is. Heeey! Misty!

Hey, Blue! Hey, Scottie! Oh, and Flannery, too? What are you all up to? Doing some training?

... ... ...

Don't tell me... You're on Scottie's team, too, aren't you, Misty.

Yup! Scottie's been working super hard to grow strong for the team!

Brock and I made sure to teach [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="him" F="her" ] the basics. [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="He" F="She" ]'s got a real knack for Pokémon battling.

Hm, I see... Of course, if I were on the team, too, [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he" F="she" ] would be even stronger.

Hey! Are you trying to say I'm a bad teacher?

I'm just saying...[EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he" F="she" ] could learn a lot more from a stronger sync pair.

Ugh! I guess some things never change. You think you're better than me. Just admit it!

Hey, guys, I don't feel right saying this, but let's cool down a bit! Why not just settle this with a Pokémon battle?

I'm game for that! But just a normal battle would be boring...

There are a bunch of event matches going on all over Pasio right now for the PML.

I heard one of them is a team-on-team elimination battle... You interested?

That kind of feels like a roundabout way of solving things, but all right! Challenge accepted.

I guess it'll be more fun to settle this with a bang. Let's do it!

All right! Then Scottie and Flannery are with me!

Wait, why do you get Scottie on your team?!

Because [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he" F="she" ] can learn more that way.

You really are a piece of work, aren't you... Fine, then I'll make my own Water-type team that'll knock your socks off!

This is getting pretty intense! I like it!
